HMO malpractice is the denial of coverage
to an eligible policyholder by a health
maintenance organization. This can manifest
itself by the HMO refusing to pay for
necessary tests, failing to reimburse
patients for treatment that should be
covered by their policies, or other wrongful
denials of service.
HMO malpractice can take place at any
level of the claims process. The HMO
itself may be responsible, or physicians
can contribute to the problem if they
think about their obligations to the
HMO before their obligations to the patients.
When HMO malpractice occurs it is a nightmare
for policyholders who must navigate the
legal issues of their policy while simultaneously
trying to obtain immediate medical attention.
If you believe that you are a victim
of HMO malpractice, it is essential to
speak with an attorney who can help you
understand your legal rights. An experienced
and helpful lawyer will help you fight
for justice and obtain the compensation
you deserve from your HMO. Do not hesitate
to make the phone call today that can
give you a brighter future tomorrow.
